This week’s English tasks are based on this video https://www.literacyshed.com/teeth.html

If you don’t have access to the video, you can complete the same activities but using the

story below instead.

The Bad Neighbours

There was once a man who went out to look for a job. As he was passing

his neighbour's house, an important piece of paper fell out of the man's

pocket.

His neighbour happened to be looking out the window. He saw the piece

of paper fall, and he thought: "What a disgrace! That guy deliberately let

that fall out of his pocket. He's trying to mess up the front of my house,

and he's being sneaky about it, too!"

But instead of going out and saying something, the neighbour planned his

revenge.

That night, he took his waste-paper basket and went to the man's house.

The first man also happened to be looking out the window, and saw what

happened. Later, when he was picking up the papers which had been

dumped on his porch, he found the important piece of paper that he had

lost. It was torn into dozens of pieces. He thought that his neighbour had

not only picked his pocket, but had had the cheek to mess up his doorway

with rubbish.

He didn't want to say anything. Instead, he started plotting his revenge.

That night he phoned a farmer to make an order of ten pigs and a

hundred ducks. He asked that they be delivered to his neighbour's house.

Of course, the next day, his neighbour had quite a bit of trouble trying to

rid himself of so many animals and their accompanying pong.

Sure that this had been a dastardly trick pulled by his neighbour, as soon

as the second man had gotten rid of the pigs and ducks, he again started

planning his revenge.

And so it went on.

They continued trying to get their own back on each other, and each time

their acts of revenge got bigger and more ridiculous. The dropping of that

single piece of paper ended up invoking a rock band, a fire siren, the

driving of a lorry into a garden fence, the throwing of a hail of stones at

windows, the firing of a canon, and finally the dropping of a bomb which

destroyed both men's houses.

Both ended up in a hospital, and had to spend quite some time sharing a

room there. At first they refused to speak to each other, but, one day,

tired of the silence, they got to talking. As time passed, they became

friends, until one day they finally dared discuss the piece of paper

incident. They realised that it had all been a misunderstanding, and that if

they had talked to each other on the first occasion - instead of jumping to

conclusions about bad intentions - then none of this would have

happened. Even better, they would still have their houses.

Day Suggested Activities for this Story

Monday Read the story. Explain what happened verbally then write a summary (one or two paragraphs) about this story.

Tuesday Think about the two men in this story. If they were to write a diary about their experience, on the first day of this story, would they both have the same viewpoint? Why not? Choose one of the men and write a diary entry from his point of view. Include thoughts and feelings, as well as a description of the events.

Wednesday / Thursday See below work on speech punctuation.

Friday Write a conversation that the two men in this story might have had on that first day, when one man thought the other had deliberately dropped litter. Remember to include the correct speech punctuation and that for each new speaker, you need to start a new line.

Wednesday

Look at these examples of how speech is punctuated. Can you remember the rules?

Speech marks

When you are writing, inverted commas or speech marks go before and after direct speech, surrounding what was said.

"I'm hungry," she complained.

If another character replies, use another set of inverted commas.

"What's for tea?" she asked. "Delicious ants!" her mum replied.

Punctuation, such as question marks, full stops and exclamation marks go inside the speech marks.

Direct speech is a sentence in which the exact words spoken are reproduced in speech marks (also known as quotation marks or inverted commas). For example: "You'll never guess what I've just seen!" said Sam, excitedly. "What's that?" asked Louise. "Our teacher has a broomstick and a black pointy hat in the back of her car. Maybe she's a witch!" "No, silly! They're for the school play!" replied Louise, sighing.

The general rules of direct speech are: Each new character's speech starts on a new line. Speech is opened with speech marks. Each line of speech starts with a capital. The line of speech ends with a comma, exclamation mark or question mark. A reporting clause is used at the end (said Jane, shouted Paul, replied Mum). A full stop goes after the reporting clause. If the direct speech in the sentence is broken up by information about who

is speaking, add in a comma or question mark or exclamation mark to end the first piece of speech and a full stop or another comma before the second piece (before the speech marks), for example: "It's lovely," she sighed, "but I can't afford it right now." / "I agree!" said Kate. "Let's go!"

Thursday

Direct Speech - Speech Marks

Speech marks (or inverted commas) show when someone is talking. You will see them

written in books as “speech” or ‘speech’.

Task One

Copy these sentences into your book and put the speech marks in the correct places.

Remember: The speech marks go around what is being said. Copy all the other punctuation

correctly.

1. Hello, said the man.

2. What are you doing? said Fred.

3. Stop! shouted the policeman.

4. Wait a minute, said Mark. Don’t I know you from somewhere?

5. I know what we’ll do, said Lucy. We’ll go to the pictures.

Task Two

Put the speech marks in the correct places once again. This time, however, you will also

need to add all the other punctuation that is needed as well. Watch out for any questions or

exclamations.

1. Hello said Greg

2. You look tired said Martin

3. Can I come in asked the man

4. No screamed the man

5. Come here said Grandma I want to see how much you have grown

6. Is that my bag asked Daniel I thought I’d lost it

7. Run shouted Sally The dog is after us

8. I know what I want for my birthday said Tina A brand new car

Task Five

When you use speech marks you need to remember the rule – new speaker, new line. Copy

out this passage into your book. I’ve put in all the punctuation so make sure you copy that

carefully. When you copy out the passage make sure that you put each new speaker on a

new line.

“I want to go swimming,” said Matthew. “I can’t stand staying in doors all day.” “I thought

you had homework to do,” said Mum. “Oh Mum,” said Matthew. “I’ve almost finished it.

Can’t I just take an hour off.” “Yes you can take an hour off,” said Mum. “But only when

you’ve finished your work.” “But it’ll be closed if I don’t go soon!” said Bob. “Then you’d

better get a move on, hadn’t you?” said Mum.

Topic

Use the powerpoint to help you.

Explain the purpose of each tooth type in the diagram as fully as you can.

How can we look after our teeth? Make a list of the things we could do. Does what we eat

effect the health of our teeth?

Challenge:

Eggsperiment!!! To see the different effects what we drink have

on our teeth.

You will need 1 egg shell- remove the egg.(Try yourself-your adults will be able to help

you- life skill!)

5 cups

5 different liquids that you drink

Comparing Beverages

Compare the effects of different drinks on your teeth using eggshell as

substitutes for teeth.

Choose a variety of drinks to test, such as milk, juice, coke, coffee and sports

drinks. For each drink, place a piece of eggshell in a glass.

Make sure you use the same size eggshell in each glass.

Fill each glass half-full with the different drink.

Each day, remove the eggshell from each glass and examine it.

Write down what changes have occurred. Repeat this for five to seven days.

You can use the table below or make your own- remember if you run out of

space continue writing on the back- it doesn’t matter.

REMEMBER-WRITE YOUR PREDICTION FIRST TO SEE IF YOU WERE RIGHT AT

THE END OF YOUR EXPERIMENT- GOOD LUCK OUR YOUNG SCIENTISTS.
